looking up from underneath.
I tend to hurt those around me,
I tend to leave ashes behind my steps,
I always thought my love would be more free,
that there would be more time left.
It was all a lie.

You waited on a precious gift
Something to call your own
You waited while doing damage
To the flesh you called a home
You waited and you pined
Crying in your solitude
Wishing for a small thing
Someone who’d love you
You waited until the day
You gave up on your dreams
Letting all you care…
Clouds bloom soft melancholy,
Curing this jaded place with crooked hands—
A sudden pressure change
As they rest upon my burdened shoulders.
The sun lets go a sallow glow.
Through the gaps she reaches out
Into half-reaped furrows.
Careful of your step,
It is the sunbeams, condensed
That…
People speak of love as if it were a game.
Hearts play for keeps, my friend.
Win, and you never have to play again.
Fail, and life will never be the same.
Set the board with pieces of your heart.
Grab a chair and choose opponent.
No need for a clock—take your time.
Years will pass before…
The you I knew was such a funny thing,
all brown eyes long hair knees and knuckles.
Always with a candy in your pocket a crayon in your hand and
something you’d just imagined and forgotten.
The you I knew was such a silly thing,
with solemn eyes and wild dreams ready to
convince me a parking…
I don’t know how I feel about Heaven
but I know I feel weightless in your arms,
and I’m not sure how long forever will be
but I know that time is effortless by your side.I’m not crazy about promises
but yours are stronger than steal, steeling
my doubts away from me and running
into the heaven we’ll stay in forever,
created by you.
do you rest your head on your father’s lap
and pretend to be young again
while he is asleep and you are dreaming
with your eyes open?his breaths are clouds and you match
your lungs to his because you will never
be too old to dance on your father’s feet
and take dips on the kitchen dance…
